The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:

Talk about it.

Cameras don’t protect/prevent crimes; for example, look at stores and houses with cameras and you see that the criminals still steal from the places. Having an armed personnel (school resource officer) is the key for protection. Or we can arm all the teachers and library staffs (the staffs get guns with silencers)
Isn’t every kid already carrying one?
Take away the phones and reinstate corporal punishment, and yes put cameras in the rooms to show parents what pathetic little people some of them are raising
Keep your comments about people’s kids to yourself. You have NO RIGHT to call them “pathetic little people”. You display your disrespectful, rude and intrusive character elsewhere.
Yes
Good to have proof of it’s a great class or a poor class.
Great if a student becomes aggressive or if a teacher is failing.
As a parent I can make sure that my child is in class and behaving appropriately.
From time you walk out of your residence until you get back figure you are on camera.
Dash cams, CCTV systems, boxy looking things with a lense on traffic lights, license plate readers, walking from your vehicle to a big box store, while shopping and back to your vehicle.

IF video surveillance is ever installed in classrooms there needs to be very strict and specific guidelines. Storage of video should be on an air gaped system. (No connection to internet)
Guns are not the answer.
Cameras will not prevent anything
Cameras can be used to prosecute the punk who assaults a teacher or protect a teacher for false claims. However that only works IF our government will prosecute and throw these punks into hard jail time.
If we will prosecute and punish the punks, I am all for cameras in the classroom.
If we are not going to do squat with the video, and this is just pandering to look good, find something else to put your money into.
Live video? No.
Recorded video is fine. It should work like a dash cam where video is recorded weekly in a continuous loop and saved to a hard drive or Cloud. Then automatically erased if not flagged to save.
No, there are already too many government funded cameras spying on us in the name of “safety.” Cameras pose a significant threat to privacy and free speech, and they do not reduce crime. The cameras that have been installed on public streets and parks are without regulations and with little or no public debate. It’s a liberal concept, and I do not trust liberals.
